Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Africa by Toto Cutugno from English to Spanish.
I never realized
Nunca me di cuenta
That a world so incredibly far away
Que un mundo tan increíblemente lejano
Could be so close to me
Podría estar tan cerca de mí
Look where we are right now
Mira dónde estamos ahora mismo
On this beautiful little piece of grass
En este hermoso pedacito de césped
Suffocated by a sea of cement
Sofocado por un mar de cemento
Oppressed by all the traffic
Oprimido por todo el tráfico
Look at the people
Mira a la gente
Running, shouting
Corriendo, gritando
Like they have all gone mad
Como si todos estuvieran locos
I think I just might go back to Africa
Creo que tal vez vuelva a África
You can joke
Puedes bromear
But you can never compare
Pero nunca puedes comparar
This noisy artificial world
Este ruidoso mundo artificial
With the natural sounds of Africa
Con los sonidos naturales de África
A time strange, mysterious
Un tiempo extraño, misterioso
Weird, almost unreal
Raro, casi irreal
Looking to the sky
Mirando al cielo
And raising your arms you can almost caress it
Y levantando tus brazos casi puedes acariciarlo
And you feel inside to the will to live
Y sientes dentro de ti la voluntad de vivir
Your skin burns and you feel a man
Tu piel arde y te sientes un hombre
You know, I think I just might go back to Africa
Sabes, creo que tal vez vuelva a África
